BURN BAN IN EFFECT 🔥
Now that we are in October, we are back into Ohio's seasonal burn ban.
For some time now, the State of Ohio has placed burn bans for the spring and fall months. Open burning is restricted during the daytime hours of 6am to 6 PM from October 1st-November 30th.
🚫 This means there is no open burning for the purpose of burning wood, brush, weeds, grass, or rubbish of any kind during these times.
🔸During the fall, fire danger is higher due to the abundance of dry leaves and vegetation, especially after the very dry summer we just had.
🔸The specified hours are due to winds being more active during the daytime. Winds typically die down in the late afternoon, lowering the threat of hot embers being carried away.
